World Disability Day

Micro Text Sharing
Submitted by Michael Rosenkrantz 01Dec

On this World Disability Day I want to take time to honor all of the People with Disability who are living full lives and not letting anything stop them.  I know of three people in Karjanha Village; whenver I see them they are always smiling, no matter how tough it is to travel in an old hand powered wheel chair or walk with a cane.  They all have families and full lives.

Prime Minister Koirla made a bold statement: envisioning a South Regional Economic Union. There is no economic union that is not also social. Now it seems a dream but with resolute determination from civil society and the corporate sector, the union can become a reality. Creating an economic but also social union is possible but we need to keep and step up the momentum.
